I'd heard about this conception, but it was long ago, I don't even remember exactly it.
It's a really interesting thing to think about it. All I remember that somehow Gregory Palama was tied with these questions. Anyway, I can say that for this problem is being divided into the next categories to be pretend to be solved:
a) we need to find logical or metaphysical explanation of the darkest dark;
b) we have to care about epistemological way /if it's possible to approach/
c) we have to try to find correlations between the metaphysical side of this with ethical and religious sides /it's optional; it depends on which way we're pursuing/.
I can't prove that three or five of these steps must limit our investigation out. Anyway, one of the hardest episode for us is to solve logically the absolute darkness.
1. Ok. For me: the perfect darkness = the best concept of any concepts of the darkest darkness. More general: the darkness must be the darkest, than any darknesses.
1.1. We can compare darknesses by their elements, their parts, or their relations to some other things /one can propose some other criteria/. The brief thinking of mine tells the darkest dark is possible to exist metaphysically, because logically it's not unnecessary for such a darkness to exist.
1.2. I can't say anything for certain about ontological side of this question. Probably the physicists might answer on it. My ignorance in the current science is unfortunately wide.
2. I guess that metaphysically we can answer on it via logic or some other conceptualisations, yet on ontological question it can be answered via the modern science apparatus: the number of tools. My view here is: which way is more productive depends on whether or not this question is ethical or aesthetical /in a certain way).
2.1. Epistemologically according to religion views we can tie this up with the sum of famous religious practices. The path we might choose can show the direction.
3. AllI can say here is that the darkness usually is taken as a symbol of the evil. The less tradition ethics would agree that the perfect darkness is rather evil, because it brings no good to a living person. For any inhuman ethics this conception is probably one of the most important; it represents the forgottenness.
